“I object to violence 

because when it appears to do good, 

the good is only temporary; 

the evil it does is permanent.”

~Mahatma Gandhi

“You can't talk about fucking in America, 

people say you're dirty. 

But if you talk about killing somebody, 

that's cool.”

~Richard Pryor

“It may well be that we will have to repent in this generation. Not merely for the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence and indifference of the good people who sit around and say, "Wait on time.”

~Martin Luther King Jr.

~*~

Kindness begets more Kindness. 

Love begets more Love

Violence begets more Violence. 

For our survival as a human race

We must find a way 

to rid ourselves, as a species, of violence.

Rid our violence against Nature

Rid our violence against each other.

We must EVOLve or perish.

~AOM
